The panelvconnecting sections 11 and12 are defined from the'panel sections 13 exceed the scope of theappended claims.

In the drawings, Fig. v1 is a perspective front View of the container in foldedidisplay form.

Fig. 2 is a rearfview of thecontainer in folded display form. 3D l Fig. 3 is a front view of the container in folded closed form; v

Fig. 4 is a sectional View on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. n l y Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective 'sec .35 tional View on'the line 5-5 of Fig. "1, and

The display back section 10 is defined onV its sides from the panelconnecting sections 11 and 12 by the parallel longitudinal score` the top closure flap 15 by the transverse score Vlines 32 and 33 and is defined at its top from and 14 by the parallel longitudinal score lines 35 and 36. .The panel sections 13 and 14 are free-hanging on the panel connecting sections for hinge movement and each panel section in width is one-half the width of the display back section 1() for forming an inner cover when the container is in closed ferm. As shown the panel sections are rounded at their upper outer ends, but as may be readily Y for purposes offdescription the section 16 ris s shown as defined from the section 10 by the dot and dash line d, the width ofthe section 16thus'being shown as from thelines dto the transverse score line 37 whereby the section16 isdeiined fromr the pocket bottoni 16 is defined at its ends from the pocket inner end wall sections 17 and18 are free on-one 4section 19; the .pocket inner rear Wall section p .Y end wall sections 17 and 18 by extensionsof `the score lines 32 and 33. The pocket inner the transverse score line 36 and is defined its ends from the pocket end closure tabs and 21 by extensions of the score lines 32 and 33, these tabs being free-hanging on the section 19.V The inner front wall section 22 free on its ends and is defined froin the pocket outer front wall section 23 by t-he transverse score line 39. The pocket outer front wall section 23 is free on one of its sides and is de fined at one end from the pocket outer end wall section 24; by a score line in e-ltcnsion of the score line 32, and is detined at its other Y end from the pocket outer end wall section 25 by a score line in extension of the score' line 33. The pocket outer end wall section 24 is free on its ends and is defined from the pocket outer rear wall section 27 by a score line in extension of the score line The pocket outer end wall section 25 is free on its ends and is defined from the locking tali seetion' 26 by a score line in extension of the score line 36. The pocketonter rear wall section 27 is free on one of its sides and lias the locking tab 28 on one end and is defined from the brace section 29 by a score line in extension of the score line 39. 'i ne brace tion 29 is free at its ends and defined freni the base section 30 by a score line in extens of the score line 38. The base section 36 is free at its ends and is defined frein the ti 31 by the score line 41.

To forni the container froni the blank the bottoni section 19 is folded upwardly on the score line 37 so that it is at a right angle to the inner rear wall section 16, the inner front wall section 22 is folded upwardly on the score line 38 to position at a right angle to the bottoni section 19 and parallel to the inner rear wall section 16 and spaced away therefrom by the bottom section 19, the inner end wall sections 17 and 13, and the panel connecting sections 11 and 12, arx folded inwardly on the score lines 32 and 33, the sections 17 and 18 being disposed in positions at right angles to 'and between the inner rear wall section 16 and the inner front wall section 22, the end closure tabs 2OV and 21 are folded inwardly on the score lines 32 and 33 to lie fiat against the inner end wall sections 17 and 18, the onter front wail section 23 is folded downwardly on the score line 39 to lie flat against the inner front wall section 22, the outer rear wall section 27 being folded downwardly on the score line in extension of the score l'ine 39 and carried around rearwardly to lie flat against the inner rear wall section 16, the outer end wall section 24 being thereby folded on its score lines and caused to lie fiat against the inner end wall section 17, the tab 20 being disposed between these end walls, the outer end wall section 25 and locking flap section 26 are carried around rearwardly so that the outer end wall section 25 lies flat against the inner end wall section 13, the tab 21 being disposed between `these end walls, and the lockinfr flap section 26 is interlockably engaged with the locking V27, and the tuck 31 is folded on the score line L l1 and inserted in the space between the outer and inner rear wall sections 27 and 16.
